“Did he beat me to a pulp?... No, but I had bruises on my body and contusions and [a] concussion because the hits were to the back of my head. I believe it was planned to do that because the bruises don't show."
On Floyd's “very risky” gambling -
“His ever-increasing fight purses have also been a means to facilitate his love for a bet, with former business partner Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson telling of $250,000 wagers on the halftime scores of NFL games,” Rodgers writes. “Harris has stories that even outrank that, like when she went to the M Casino to drop off a bag containing $700,000 in cash to settle one of Mayweather's bets.”On Floyd's associates -
"He has told me people have stolen from him, his house was robbed and they thought it was an inside job," The people who are just leeching on; I didn't like that. I wanted Floyd to run his business like a company…You [should] clock in and clock out and get a salary, not, 'I'm going to buy you a Rolex or a car.' Is it a charity? A very lucky-ass charity. They are getting an extreme donation.”
